Location Village Charm & Countryside Setting

The Gables sits on the edge of Turvey, a picturesque village known for its historic architecture, riverside walks, and friendly community. Two pubs are within walking distance, and the nearby countryside provides ample opportunity for dog walking, cycling or simply enjoying the peace and tranquility of rural Bedfordshire. Families are particularly drawn to Turvey for its school catchment including Sharnbrook Academy and easy access to Bedford station for fast trains into London. The M1, Milton Keynes and Northampton are all within a 30-minute drive, with the nearby market town of Olney (just minutes away) offering supermarkets, boutique shops, and restaurants.
